Cleveland lawn bowls club makes “2010 Best of Cleveland”

“Forget about the sweat-soaked bowling shoes at your neighborhood bowling alley. The Forest Hill Park Lawn Bowling Club takes the game outdoors on 14,400 square feet of putting green perfection on land that was once a part of the John D. Rockefeller Estate. “It’s about the socializing and the camaraderie,” says club member Chris Kious. “You don’t have to bring any equipment and there are no uniforms.” The only exception to uniforms is for Sunday tournaments, when bowlers must wear white from head to toe. Bowlers meet every Sunday at 2 p.m. and Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Forest Hill Lawn Bowling Greens to eat, drink and bowl. Mixing the concept of bocce with the technique of bowling, the game is free for anyone who wants to try, but there’s a $100 membership fee for those interested in joining the club. Forest Hill Park, Forest Hills Boulevard, East Cleveland, 440-352-1978.”
